Athletics at Upland
Ask any former Upland athlete the significance of wearing Black and Gold and they will regale you with stories of last minute goals and huge saves, of thrilling wins at home or far away, of tournaments and of trips to Finland, and – perhaps most importantly – of their first games and of their last ones.
That is because the Upland Athletic Program honors the positive role that playing sports has on a young person’s development, and philosophically our core values remain the same on the field and ice as in the classroom: learn to learn, push boundaries, solve problems, innovate, compete, strive for excellence, celebrate camaraderie, find joy, lead with purpose, and create character along the way. Our objectives of coaching and teaching are truly identical as we aspire to provide players with the skills and attitude that will last a lifetime.
